Man City fans demand Ederson is sold in January after what they saw v Man United
Man City fans are demanding the club sell Ederson in the January transfer window after what they saw him do against Man United.
Pep Guardiola’s side suffered a late collapse against their bitter rivals at the Etihad, losing 2-1 after having led 1-0 until Bruno Fernandes’ 88th-minute penalty.
The winner for United came courtesy of Amad Diallo, but the home crowd immediately turned their attention to the goalkeeper, who was at fault for the goal.
Ederson came rushing off of his line to close down the United winger, who lifted the ball over his head before coolly slotting it home to secure all three points.
The Brazilian shot-stopper returned to the starting XI v Juventus in midweek, having been dropped in favour of Stefan Ortega for the three games prior, and fans are now calling for him to drop out of the starting XI once again.
Meanwhile, he has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia after their strong interest during the summer, and many have insisted City should now cash in.

What had previously been a nailed-on position in City’s starting XI had been revoked, leading to speculation over where his long-term future would lie.
Now, fans have taken to social media to call for his immediate departure, with some insisting he should move to Saudi Arabia while others demanded he be dropped.
